We chose to travel again with Princess, as we had a fantastic time on our journey with them to Alaska last summer on the Sapphire Princess. My husband and I are in our 50's and are frequent cruisers. This was our second cruise with Princess and we were not disappointed. We have sailed on other top name cruises, but found that Princess had the best itinerary if you wish to see the British Isles.
The Port of Southampton is 2 hours away from Heathrow airport, so plan for a long first day of traveling if coming from the USA. All transfers and busses to the dock provided by Princess were smooth and efficient.
We stayed in a balcony stateroom on the Caribe Deck, room C707, category BB. The room was large, there is great closet space, and our attendant Leo was very good. Our room was always clean and neat. We especially like the balcony on the Ruby Princess as it was large enough for 4 people and a table. We chose to be on the Caribe deck as each deck below juts out so you are more visible to others who can look down to see you.
